Ms. Bruno what a small world we live in! Last year when I was visiting my "home town", I passed by my childhood home. We had lived there about 20 years. I recently passed the pictures on to my siblings. A niece, who still lives in New Orleans, saw the article and told her dad about it.

The red bungelow house in your article on Apricot Street was the home we lived in. It had changed dramatically from previous visits.

I am so happy and thrilled that you caught the essence of the neighborhood and described the type of homes they were. We all have such fond memories growing up at 8210 Apricot Street. We walked one block to Carrollton Ave. to watch the Carrollton Parade every year. It was like magic living so close to a Mardi Gras parade route back in the 50's. Thank you for writing about our street.
